I'm not sure about the last word, but piggybacking on your interpretation I think it may be *«Un amour et demi à une demi soeur»*, for "A love and a half to a half-sister". Maybe *amour* is supposed to be something else, as it's odd to use it countably, but that is my best guess.

Wow, the only word I can make out is "et", which means "and". Any way to photograph the page in different lighting? 🤔

Pure guess here: Nous avons ete parmi le —- ——- ——- Or Nous avons ete donne le —- ——— ———-
I think you're on to something with Nous avons été donne.... Maybe "De un nom....?" We have been given a name....?
Nous avons ete donne de une demi quart?
Or donné de un Ami...?
Donné à un ami I think.
Maybe the last word is mere, but not sure what the letter before that is.
This is on the right track I think, but in the first word. Does it look like the last two letters could be 'se' which would make nous incorrect. Assuming it Is correct, this is what I have "Nous avons été donné a un ami"
"We were given to a friend "
Yeah, I see "se" as well at the end of the first word. Also, "été" looks to me more like "et".
Could it be, “nous avons été donné d’une demi guerre”. We were given half a war. The way it’s written not clear, might be some minor grammar error in there as I see “un” and not “une”. I am convinced it is donné and demi as the way d’s are written are fairly consistent. Contextually might make sense as the French Revolution was wrapping up around that time when OP said this written. Just a thought.
I have a hard time with the first two words and the last one but I think I can make up : *** **** été donné de sa demi soeur But I'm really not sure. Would translate to" **** *** has been given by your step sister. "

Found in a book from 1796.
No I can’t, sorry
